[QUOTE="Loner, post: 384320, member: 24560"] The 6mm runs about 100 fps faster than the 243. I would think the AI in 243 is as fast or faster. A 6.5 is a lot more bullet, I don't put them in the same class. In either case it is barrel twist that is going to let you shoot the long heavy bullets needed for long range. After you decide on calibre, do your research on twist for it. Both 243/6mm and 6.5 bullets are doing well in 1000 yard events. 243 Has about 115 grain as max weight and 6.5 up to 160. Takes a 1:7 or 1:8 to shoot the heavies and mag length can become a problem for either. m2c [/QUOTE]
